Chapter 21: The Quiet Night
Late at night, everything is silent.
Although she had been on the road for a day in the morning, An Jie was not in the mood to sleep like this.
"Keeping your nerves tense is the only way to survive on the battlefield............"
………………
The girl sighed;
"Okay~ It's just that I can't sleep."
She rolled over in bed, and being a woman did not give her any preferential treatment in terms of comfort. The upper and lower bunks are exactly the same as those of other big-headed soldiers, and the only consolation is that the captain has specially vacated a single room for her, so as to avoid a lot of embarrassment.
"There are still more than 1,700 kilometers from the city of Altyr, and if you can take the captain's military vehicle, it will be reduced by at least a third, that is, more than 500 kilometers!"
An Jie got up and began to rummag through her luggage.
"In this case, as long as you walk for two more days, rush to the next military region, and then transfer to a car, you will be there in less than 12 days! ……………… Well? Got it! ”
The girl pulled out two books from her luggage.
One is "The Transformation of the Magic Guiding Process", which was handed over to him by the major of the personnel department of the headquarters before leaving.
"If you don't have the slightest understanding of your future work, you will be looked down upon when you go to the army." - by Major of the Personnel Department.
An Jie deeply agrees with this sentence!
The other is the "Compendium of Modern Special Operations", which was left to her by An Jie's dead ghost father and handed over by Admiral Lesa, and is said to be a heavenly book that the Empire's tactical experts can't read.
"It is often the straw that kills the camel." —by Lieutenant Cliff Scarlett.
Well, except for the preface and title, An Jie couldn't understand a word.
The girl put the two books in front of her eyes, tilted her head, and hesitated.
………… In the end, she carefully put the "Outline of Modern Special Operations" under the table leg with a missing corner, and turned to open the "Transformation of the Magic Guiding Process".
"Modern ...... Ambrizette's magic guide went through three magic revolutions, and the traditional magic guide process was affected by the imperial industrial system, and began to seek a fundamental change............"
"The first revolution, in 1503, the High Elf Council began to introduce the relatively mature industrial equipment of the empire; Seek to liberate magic technology from primitive handicrafts. In 1514, it was successful, and the techniques that originally required the hand-engraved spells of the elves were replaced by industrial equipment, and the mana was supplied by a pre-prepared mana reservoir. By installing a memory full of magic on a device specially designed for engraving, it is possible to produce a magic guide in an assembly line.................. Combining magic and industry, these elves have a lot of ideas! ”
The girl summed it up and said that the essence of the so-called first magic revolution was to "expand productivity".
"Productivity is the foundation of modern industry, and Ambrizette, as a magical country, has completed the transformation from the old era to the modern era with the model of the industrial system."
An Jie took a breath and said sincerely: "Admire." ”
Read on:
"The second magic craft revolution originated in 1572, and most of the existing magic techniques were made up of high-level techniques donated by major families in the old era and recognized low-level techniques when the High Elf Council was founded. In 1569~1573, the relationship between the parliament and the empire became more and more tense, and the High Elf Council, which felt that it was not strong enough to fight, convened a meeting to reformulate the constitution, and passed on the collection, codification, and analysis of the technique as an ongoing policy............ Well? Attached: Special techniques for novice magicians in the Empire, see the appendix for details. ”
The girl held her cheek with one hand, and her expression fully showed what it means to be an eggache: "How can there be a sense of déjà vu of the ancient poems recorded in the appendix in the Chinese textbook?" ”
With a groov in his mouth, his hand honestly flipped "The Revolution of the Magic Technique" to the appendix.
Magic is divided into three major divisions in the Imperial Encyclopedia.
Optics, Enchantment, Enhancement.
"The ones recorded in the appendix are all enhancements, well~ yes, after all, it's for novices."
Carefully memorizing the three enhancement techniques recorded in the appendix, after looking at these strange-shaped geometric figures for a long time, it actually made An Jie feel a strange beauty!
(Delusion!) )
The girl rolled her eyes, like hers, who has never exceeded eighty points in mathematics, can she see the beauty of geometry?
Hehe............
After memorizing for a while, making sure that she didn't forget, An Jie turned the page back to the front.
"The second revolution brought about the improvement of military strength and scientific and technological strength, and the so-called 'technique' was both a catharsis of violence and a builder of the homeland. As long as this is grasped and the power is strengthened, it is only natural that the power of the old school will be well aware of the vast amount of resources...... After all, the interests of those in power are aligned! ”
Turning the book to the next page, An Jie tilted her head.
This is not so much a change as it is the "result" of the political game between the big family groups of the old era and the parliamentary government of the new era. Fight local tyrants and divide family property, and give a bad review for not fighting a civil war! ”
The train was full of thoughts and returned to the page, and the ............ came into view
An Jie's originally lazy eyes instantly became solemn!
That's a photo.
From a photographic point of view, the photographer may have taken this photo hiding in a trench, or it could have been a war correspondent, or it could have been a disobedient soldier who brought his camera to the battlefield.
It was a photo of a magic destroyer.
The 3,000-ton Oak-class destroyer floats in the sky, with a dense turret at the bottom, a defensive magic carved into the hull, four sets of anti-gravity engine units on the top, and two sets of four turbofan thrusters, one large and one small, at the stern.
Ambrizette's first generation oak-class magic guide assault ship!
“………… Because no one can fly higher than themselves, did you adopt a design that places the engine overhead? ”
Keenly noticed the abnormality in the design of the "destroyer" in the photo, and the girl snorted coldly.
"It's really an arrogant design!"
The third magic revolution, the discovery of "anti-gravity matter", means that the power of magic has the possibility of secondary, tertiary, or even multiple processing!
There is a world of difference between the fundamental value of energy that remains unchanged and energy that can be refined!
The benefits are vastly different!
Still, from the point of view of practicality and potential, the girl is still more optimistic about magic.
"Magic is very versatile, as long as there is enough magic power and the right technique, you can do a variety of things, and anti-gravity matter, but these big toys can only go to the sky!"
Well, if you don't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour.
After turning the whole book over and over again, Corporal Scarlet came to ———— conclusion that "compared to Ambrizette, the scientific and technological strength of the Empire, which is still using steam, is indeed about ten or eight years behind." ”
sighed, the girl had mixed feelings, the motherland was backward and people, she originally thought that she would not experience such a thing in this world! But sometimes this is the case, it does not depend on human will, and it also makes the girl really have a sense of identity with the empire in her heart.
"It's okay to fall behind now! At least the elves don't fight us! ”
An Jie silently cheered for herself.
The country in her previous life lagged behind the world for so many years, and finally stood on top of the world like a giant!
As his heir, An Jie doesn't believe that he can't even handle a different world! Resolutely do not do anything that disgraces the seniors of the traverser!!
And when it comes to fighting..................
An Jie's little eyes drifted to the "Outline of Modern Special Operations" on the table foot
Stomach aches, mick aches, headaches, all kinds of aches!
Does Anjie really not understand the meaning?
How can it be!
In her previous life, a random elementary school student can tell you what a special soldier is!
As a favorite military role in various movies, novels, and TV series, the concept of special forces is generally equated with "hero" in the hearts of ordinary people.
However, Anjie's dead ghost father, Lieutenant Cliff Scarlett, wrote the "Outline of Modern Special Operations", which focuses on how to train soldiers to become a "non-human"!
The concept of modern special forces is flexible, tough, fast, and powerful, focusing on killing with one hit, and running away after loading!
Lieutenant Cliff's philosophy is "the straw that breaks the camel's back"! He did not put himself and his troops in the position of the ADC, but gave up the output position to the large army, and he led his "special forces" to carry out guerrilla operations. In order to maintain concealment and mobility, Cliff's envisioned team was still very small.
Then here's the problem! With a small number of people, outdated equipment, and a lack of support, how can the "special forces" that roam the edge of MT and ADC produce effective output?
The answer given by Anjie's dead ghost father is:
The output is not enough, and the festival will make up!
Sneak attack, and then obscenity.
Poisoned, and then molested.
Set fire, and then lewd.
Infiltration, and then obscenity.
In the middle of the night, the third watch will learn to howl next to your station, so that you can't sleep well, and then lewd.
Resolutely carry out the concept of "I am the last straw" to the end!
——— above is the introduction of the Happy Edition.
In fact, An Jie will no longer be able to watch 26 tricks of poisoning, 41 secret medicines that Scarlet's family does not pass on, and 57 methods of overweight oral torture!
The catalogue that has been deciphered also shows how to dissect his comrades in front of the enemy in a fancy way, causing a psychological breakdown, so as to facilitate the extortion of confessions.
The girl didn't dare to look at it.
"You're invincible! I admit it! ”
Maybe in the future, she will see more, and she may be able to be an executioner with an unchanging face like her father.
But now, Anjie sincerely prays that she doesn't become like that.
………………
"Hah~~~"
The girl stretched her waist widely, showing off the washboard without any eyes.
"If you can't sleep, you should read more books."
It was nearly the middle of the night, and the kerosene lamps had been lit for a long time, and at this time they had begun to flicker and flicker, and they were about to go out.
Turning off the kerosene lamp that was about to go out, and stuffing the two books back into the luggage, An Jie walked back to the bed in the dark.
"That's it for today, this sleepiness is not easy to come by."
Lifting her increasingly heavy eyelids, An Jie put her hand on the edge of the bed.
………………
“!!!”
In the darkness, a faint blue light suddenly appeared!
(Something is wrong!) Is the bed shaking? )
There was a unique touch of the object shaking in the hand, and the steel edge of the military upper and lower double bed vibrated at high speed in a pair of petite palms!
(Not true!) It's not like the bed is shaking! )
Anjie's sleepiness is gone!
"It's an earthquake !!"
